If you order some operation like resample or slowdown isn't a typo, put your command line.

Is there a way to add DRC when encoding DTS 5.1 to AAC 5.1 with eac3to? I am encoding my movies for iPod and would like to compress the audio more for better hearing in loud places. I know about -keepdialnorm but I would also like to add medium DRC. I remember besweet could do it, but I don't think besweet works with neroaacenc.

When I'm trying to extract the mono LPCM track of Solaris Blu-Ray, to LPCM also, the resultant file is speeding up incredibly (presumably because eac3to assumes a minimal of LPCM 2.0 or something?). Dunno what that is, but would be nice if it gets fixed some time.

SUP title traction is still less than stellar, to be honest, with time-offsets often being way out of sync (like everything starts +1 hour later or some such); tsRemuxeR does a better job of it. Would be nice if that ever got fixed as well.

Tried to decode DTS to 16 bit wav using -16 option, but the output was 24 bit. Is it proper behaviour?

If the original is 24-bit, you need to use -down16 I think.

Gleb Egorych · 17th June 2011, 16:04

I understood my mistake: -16 is input option not output. Thanks, Weirdo.

tebasuna51 · 17th June 2011, 19:33

By default DTS (like all lossy encoder) is always decoded to 24 bits, no matter the bitdepth of original source what is irrelevant.

if have a weird problem with eac3to 3.24 and more gui

i upgraded to windows 7 and when i start eac3to with the more gui i get a very weird behavior. i load a blu-ray and everything is fine. but if i select a title from a blu-ray i get stuck in old encode. i download a new copy of both (eac3to and more gui) but the error sticks with it. this also happens when i select 'test external filters'

thiugh, it's not happening when i run eac3to in cmd mode which i don't like... i'm a gui person

is there any way to reset this behavior?

psymed · 23rd June 2011, 02:54

Are you supposed to run the eac3to.exe? or do you use Start --> Run command prompt and then type eac3to input. ??

is that eac3to.exe supposed to close itself after double clicking it?

Thunderbolt8 · 24th June 2011, 01:15

if you dont run command prompt, then yes

How would I go about starting eac3to? It shows a log when I drag a file to it and shows the files in that 00000 named file, but then it auto closes eac3to?
Is there a way to keep it open?
Or what do I do after that?

kypec · 27th June 2011, 08:58

When you are not skilled enough to type full command line yourself then try some GUI for eac3to - there are at least 4 of them, I personally prefer UsEac3to but it's up to you to pick your favorite. See the initial post of this thread for other GUI candidates.

is there a switch to tell eac3to to not create a log file after a conversion?

Add...

Code:

-log=NUL

...to your command line.

one more question -

is there a way to pass extra parameters to NeroAACEnc? I need to specify -he in the command line, but eac3to won't recognize it.

tebasuna51 · 11th July 2011, 13:21

Use -quality=0.30 or less, then the output is -he

nibus · 12th July 2011, 09:21

The quality I need is low enough (0.15) that it is defaulting to HEv2 which won't work on my device.

nurbs · 12th July 2011, 10:17

You can pipe stuff from eac3to to the Nero encoder.

Code:

eac3to input.data stdout.wav | neroaacenc -q 0.15 -he -ignorelength -if - -of output.mp4

Fill in paths were needed for eac3to, input, neroaacenc and output. The important thing is to have eac3to output to stdout and nero input from stdin (-if -). You also need -ignorelength IIRC.

Boulder · 12th July 2011, 13:05

Do you happen to know whether qtaacenc supports piping?
